There is! I followed the vague instructions in this message to convert my debian installation to a GuixSD installation and it (broadly speaking) worked. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2017-04/msg00139.html The trick is not to "init", but just to "reconfigure" into GuixSD. It feels a bit hacky, but it works.
